Theunicornhunter 2 Posted October 14, 2008 When gas started going up food started going up - I haven't noticed food coming down so it's mixed news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted October 14, 2008 I remember $.89 per gallon less than 10 years ago. I want to see that again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted October 14, 2008 Just because gas has come down a bit, people think they are getting a bargain. You've fallen into the oil companies trap. Thats just what they want you to think. Consider this. Oil is currently selling for about $80 per barrel. Gas at the pump is still around $3.10 per gallon. The last time oil traded at $80 per barrel, gas was around $1.95 at the pump. Still think you are getting a bargain? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ Phaserman 2 Posted October 15, 2008 I remember when gas was less than a dollar. I remember the outcry when price went above a dollar. I am sicken how much gas has cost. kinda wish this war would end so gas and this inflation would go down. i remember when the war started, gas was at 1.23 a barrel. less than a year it jumped to 2.10 a gallon. then every 3 months it went up about 75 cents a gallon then by 2006 it teetered between 2.37 and 3.10 a gallon. and last year and this year it's been doing a balancing act between 3.15 and 4.40 a gallon. honestly im getting tired of it.

Capt_Picard 0 Posted October 15, 2008 Sunday- $3.35 Monday- $3.17 Today- $3.07 All of this was at the same 76 gas station... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted October 15, 2008 The prices went down last year the same way. Even still gas was cheaper at this time last year. Next spring I am willing to bet the price of gas will be around $5 or above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GhostofMajorHayes 10 Posted October 15, 2008 Gas is $2.59 a gallon here. Food prices here have stayed about the same, I haven't seen an increase that accompanied the gas price surge of the last year. Guess I'm lucky to live here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oil prices have absolutely nothing to do with the war in Iraq, Aghganistan or anywhere else. Kor's right. The price of oil and gas is reflected by supply and demand. Remember after Katrina? Price of oil skyrocketed. Ask your dad about the oil embargo of the 70's, TJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
